Enriched weapons-grade uranium consists of 80% uranium-235 (235.044 amu) and 20% uranium-238 (238.051 amu). what is the average

atomic mass of weapons-grade uranium, assuming the percentages are exact?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

Which transition in a hydrogen atom would absorb the photon of greatest frequency?1) n = 3 to n = 12) n = 6 to n = 23) n = 2 to
Nata [24]

Answer:

n .= 1 to 4

Explanation:

From the Planck 5

E = hc/lambda

Where lambda is wavelength

E= hf

We will explain the answer here with respect to wavelength. It should be understood that the higher the wavelength of transition, the lower the frequency.

This means that longer transitions will occur at lesser frequencies. From the options the biggest transition is from 2 to 94, while the smallest is from 1 to 4

The transition from 1 to 4 is expected to have the highest energy as it has the shortest wavelength,

Transition from 2 to 94 has the longest wavelength, lowest energy and least frequency

How could the survivors about starting a fire?
joja [24]

Answer:

The ancient Greeks believed that fire was one the four basic elements that composed all things in the universe. In the mythology of virtually every culture, fire is a sacred substance that gives life or power. Fire is not, in fact, a substance. When you gaze at the leaping flames of a campfire, you’re observing not an object, but a process – a chemical reaction. It’s the same chemical reaction that occurs when a cut apple left on the counter turns brown, when silver tarnishes or when an iron nail rusts.

That process is oxidation: combining oxygen with another substance. The defining difference between a fire and your half-eaten apple is speed: fire is an oxidation process that happens very fast, so that light, heat and sound are released — often with enough force and majesty to justify the ancients’ reverence.The sudden release of energy causes temperatures to rise, sometimes by thousands of degrees. And it also results in smoke, the toxic waste of fire’s leftovers.

fuel (something that will burn)

heat (enough to make the fuel burn)

and air (oxygen)
